Frequently asked Questions

DO YOU NEED A LICENCE FOR A FUN CASINO?

The simple answer is no. The Gambling Act 2005 allows you to host a fun casino for charitable or non-commercial purposes without a licence. If you are not playing for real money and prizes are awarded for winners that do not exceed £600 total value, then you won’t need a licence. Prizes are allowed to be given to winners on the night and we would work out who wins these for you. Further information about non-commercial prize gaming and the rules surrounding it can be found here https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/.

If you are running a charity event, you can charge money for tickets and this can include the gaming tables. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY GUESTS DON’T KNOW THE GAMES?

This isn’t a problem, learning how to play the games is part of the fun! Our experienced and friendly croupiers will always be happy to explain the games and show people how to play. Most casino games are easier than you think.

CAN CHILDREN GET INVOLVED?

We do not exclude children from playing, it isn’t really gambling, they are just playing games essentially. We do ask parents to approach with their children & provide permission when they initially play.

HOW MANY TABLES IS RIGHT FOR MY EVENT?

Choosing the right amount of tables can be tricky, but a good rule of thumb is to have one table for every 30 – 50 guests. Maybe more tables if it is a corporate event or if it is the main source of entertainment.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
